Fox Run to open soon for disabled residents

Greeley’s newest apartment building is about to open, but to only a select group of residents.

The 23-unit Fox Run Apartments will soon open at 1300 60th Ave., and is available to low-income residents with qualifying physical disabilities, according to a prepared release. The facility is now taking applications for residency.

The two-story, $2.78 million building has one- and two-bedroom apartments that include features such as accessible stovetops and ovens, roll-under counters and sinks in the kitchen and bath, large roll-in showers, 36-inch doors with lever-action handles and raised electrical outlets, and lowered light switches. All common areas are designed to meet Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines, the release said.

Rent is based on 30 percent of the household monthly income, with rental assistance provided by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the release said.

The project was built by Accessible Space Inc., a Minnesota-based nonprofit organization. Fox Run is the agency’s third such project in Colorado.
